However, the igniter 10 described above has the following problems. As the first problem, the connection with the external connection terminal 2 must be handled by using the connector 1 prepared as a separate component, and before the igniter 10 itself is installed in the ignition coil unit 13, Since electrical and mechanical joining by a method such as welding with the connector 1 is required, there are problems that the number of parts is increased, the workability such as welding is poor, and the man-hour required for welding is increased. . Furthermore,
In the above configuration, the number of bonding points is the same as the number of external terminals, and the problem of non-contact or the like at the bonding portion occurs due to the increase in the number of bonding bonding points or welding in this way, and therefore There is a problem that the reliability decreases in proportion to the increase.

The third problem is igniter 1
If all the components are to be placed on the internal wiring board or the lead frame on a single surface in order to add 0 to the added value, the internal wiring board space must be taken large and there is a limit to the space saving of the igniter 10. was there. Also, when an internal wiring board is used to mount components, the components are mounted on a single internal wiring board that is single-sided or double-sided. However, the current flow generated when the igniter 10 is operated acts on the adjacent conductor patterns, and the interference of these electromagnetic inductions causes noise in the igniter 10, which adversely affects the primary current cutoff control. . At the same time, the heat generated from the internally mounted components when the igniter 10 is driven has a problem in that it is easily affected by the components arranged on a single surface.
